Description: Aloysius ‘Snuffy’ Snuffleupagus can best be described as a brown shaggy elephant, but without tusks and the big floppy ears. He is 7 feet high and 15 feet long. He probably got his name because of his snuffle, wich is very long, and wich makes his voice very nasal. When Big Bird introduced a new friend, Snuffy, in Sesame Street, Snuffy was invisible and nobody believed him. Now everybody can see him, his best friend is still Big Bird (who Snuffy always calls ‘Bird’). Snuffy likes to play games with Big Bird, such as roller-skating. When he is alone, he like to play on his Snuffleflute. ‘Mr. S.’ is very shy, and has a very slow nature. His favourite meals are spaghetti and cabbage. His favourite quote is `Oh, Dear`.

Facts:

He made two debuts. His first was october 13, 1971. He was invisible then. Because people thought the whole thing had a bad influence on children, they decided to make him visible. So he debuted for the second time november 18, 1985, when he was finally seen.

My dog Holly's nickname was a Greek hybrid of Aloysius Snuffleupagaus.  The nickname was H.R.M. Queen Halena Slopoflopolopolous.  Aloysius was my favorite childhood Sesame Street character!  I liked how he moved about.  His nasal voice.  His snout and those big eyelashes!  I suppose his mysterious side was like me.

I wonder what it would be like to have the Snuffleupagus join The Pussycat Dolls in the song "Don't Cha"!
